It doesn't bother me for people to chase without correct odds either. I'm not bothered playing a solid game of poker, and I can usually outplay about 90% of players out there, decent or not.

It's when you run into a player of equal skill at your table who's absorbing tons of money from the inferior players, and you're not catching the cards he's getting (viz. you're at the typical calling station table where the optimum strategy is tight preflop, aggressive postflop) where this strategy can pay off. The fat cat will treat you like any other player, and pay you off.

There's also the chaotic table where you can't make heads or tails of anything going on whatsoever. You never know what hand you're up against, cause nobody knows how to play poker, and you can't sit and wait all day for the absolute nuts. This typically neutralizes that problem.

I will play solid poker any day, if I feel like it, but playing holdem this way seems clean, more reliable, and less psychologically demanding. It's consistent, and it works at ANY table. With standard FTR strategy, you've got to find an optimal table, and that can sometimes take a half hour of work. It makes me giddy to get AK called by KJ/K9/KQ. You have no idea how good that feels. It's exhilarating to no end.
